Advent and Christmas 2020

We have worked hard to create a safe environment with increased sanitization, mask wearing throughout, and six feet of distancing between households — while also respecting our sacramental life — to bring you beautiful liturgies.

All Catholics continue to be dispensed from any obligation to the sacraments while the pandemic persists, so these opportunities are entirely optional.
